    The clock is ticking on Dominick Cruz. His last fight was October 1st, 2011 (in three weeks it will have been two full years). The UFC and Dana White specifically don't want to keep doing the interim title thing. Looking like they're considering pulling the title from him if he isn't returning soon and making the interim holder the official holder (though he never will be in the eyes of the fans).

    BJ Penn is un-retired. He texted Dana White asking to fight Ben Henderson.

    Instead, Frank Edgar and BJ Penn will be opposing coaches on the next season of The Ultimate Fighter culminating in their third fight in mid-2014. Dunno if this means BJ will stay at featherweight.

    UFC on FOX 9 on Dec. 14 in Sacramento will feature Pettis vs. Grant with Michael McDonald vs. Urijah Faber and Chad Mendes vs. TBA in a title eliminator also on the card. Mendes vs. Lamas?

    Travis Browne vs. Stipe Miocic next for the heavyweight division

    Jacare wants to fight the winner of Bisping/Munoz

    Dana suggests that the money Diaz made in the GSP fight could be one of the reasons why he isn't rushing to come out of retirement.

    Jose Aldo thinks Ricardo Lamas and Cub Swanson should be ahead of Chad Mendes for a title shot. Lamas, yes, Swanson, meh, but interesting to see the champ say that.

    TJ Grant can't commit to fight as soon as December 14th and has withdrawn. Bummer.

    With a good win over Diego Sanchez next month, Gilbert Melendez could be the next challenger, though it would be short notice (about 2 months).

    Another option is Josh Thompson.
